It's not just you. I use Visual Studio when I'm occasionally looking at C#, IntelliJ on the odd occasion that I'm doing Java, and otherwise it's emacs and I can't remember the last time I used a debugger for Go, Elixir, C, C++, JS, Python, Ruby, etc. Basically, unless the language's standard library is massive and over-abstracted, no IDE is necessary. There's no way I'll ever remember org.apache.some.deep.package.HttpClientBuilderFactory and its 6 constructor arguments, but "import requests; requests.get(...)" is pretty easy to write without an IDE.
